Even with only two graphics cards, if you have other add in cards it is a very good idea to hook up that supplemental 6 pin PCIE power. I've had my old X79 Dark fail to boot, and after multiple RMAs and troubleshooting with EVGA techs, we found out that it just needed that supplemental power hooked in.
The weird part was that the system had been working fine with two video cards and other add in cards, but one of the GPUs likely started drawing extra power on boot as it aged and messed things up when the system didn't have the required power on bootup.
